The Halo Ranch, in Idaho, is primarily a working ranch with spring group rides.

RIDE CHOICES MOUNTAIN HALF-DAY TRIP (morning) (Mount at 9:50 a.m.) We think these trips are among the most beautiful in the world! The trails are steep but not dangerous. We ride up on the high mountain ridges and down into the deep ravines; we usually see wildlife and even in late summer there are still wild-flowers blooming up that high! These rides are uniquely tailored to your specific preferences; we conduct our rides to satisfy the desires of the guests and this includes things like the rate of travel. However, there usually will be some trotting on the morning rides. MOUNTAIN HALF-DAY TRIP (Afternoon) (Mount at 1:30 p.m.) Numerous different areas are offered on the afternoon trips. These areas range from high mountain, steep trails to lower mountain and meadow trails. They can follow the streams that flow down from The Continental Divide or they can travel back into the heavy forests. Because of the vast area available, your guide will strive to give you the type of trip that you want including how much time you actually want to spend in the saddle. The actual time on the afternoon ride is often a little longer and we spend more time enjoying the beautiful country and taking pictures. While riding across the meadows, we will usually ride among the cattle. EVENING RIDE (Mount at 5:00 p.m.) For those who want a true western experience but do not want to ride up high or spend as much time in the saddle, we offer a casual evening ride. We spend some time riding in the meadows then ride up near the base of the Gallatin National Forest . With the horses, we make every effort to maintain a slower pace This is a great ride for the "older generation". We try to be back by 7:00 p.m. if possible.
